Outside of work, I’m a self taught developer and I’ve spent ~10 years programming, contributing to open source and running a homelab: building Go/Python backends, writing proxies and CLIs, and maintaining Linux/Windows servers, containers (docker, kubernetes), and virtualized setups.

I’m now looking to move into software development full‑time and turn my passion into a living.

I’ve spent 11 years at a bank and two years at a pensions firm. Both places don’t particularly appreciate radical changes or rapid movement.

While at the bank, I helped adopt Python for non-critical tasks and pushed for the production use of scripts for critical systems. My time was mostly spent writing C++, debugging obscure issues, and migrating software to 64-bit and C++11.

At my current role, I’m working on a Blazor site for pension scheme trustees to view aggregate member data and scheme health information.

I’d appreciate a role that has me learning something new, doesn’t try to pigeonhole me once I find a speciality, and prioritises small teams with some degree of autonomy.

I'm a Master's in CS, and a primarily backend software engineer focusing on mathematical & data analysis, currently specializing in vibration, signals, and sensor analysis, as well as data visualizations. I recently reverse-engineered and from-scratch rewrote an obfuscated backend analysis codebase, resulting in a maintainable, readable, concise, well-documented system.

I have some past experience building backend web services with Clojure, Postgres, and Datomic, and more recent experience making local frontend GUI tools with TypeScript.

I'm a strong advocate of FOSS tools, powerful pragmatic languages, modular technology stacks, and simple solutions. All directly informed by experience with how proprietary languages & libraries, monolithic stacks, and clever programming wizardry result in systems that are brittle and crash-prone, expensive or impossible to maintain, and difficult to defend to clients and courts.

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: no

Technologies: Embedded systems, automotive, machine learning, signal processing, data science, real time computing, safety processes (MISRA, ISO26262, etc), MATLAB, FPGA.

Resume: LinkedIn -- https://www.linkedin.com/in/wcunning

Email: wdocunningham \@\ gmail.com

Background: Masters in control theory and signal processing, working in the auto industry for the last 7 years, first on low level powertrain software then the last year or so on LIDAR/computer vision for autonomous vehicles. I've done the most work in C, but I'm now contributing to safety development work with the Rust consortium and Ferrous Systems through my current employer. Recently had to read the Linux kernel source and use the BCC tool suite to find a subtle issue in the network stack causing high latency on sensor data for AV, also coincidentally fixed most of the network timing infrastructure.

Currently doing software defined vehicle software architecture with a focus on fail-safe and fail-operational, loosely coupled, distributed systems. This includes some standards contributions and work with high level suppliers like Nvidia and Renesas for next-generation software/hardware system co-development.

Primary skills include hard real time embedded systems, safety critical applications, firmware development, system integration and complex hardware/software interaction debugging, along with detailed data analysis problems.

Side interests include machining, 3D printing, embedded system development, coffee roasting and furniture making.
